Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind. ~ Virginia Woolf

Teaser Tuesday: Midwives ~ Chris Bohjalian

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read

Open to a random page

Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

“Amidst my sobs and wails, people have said that I pleaded aloud, ‘Look at us! Oh, God, please, please look at us!’ and still not one of the jurors would even glance in my mother’s or my direction.” p. 5 Midwives ~ Chris Bohjalian

Oh, I have had this book on my shelf for such a long time, and often I will glance at it and wonder what awaits me when I finally dig in. From the snippet that you posted I think it will likely be an interesting read for me, and your shining a spotlight on it serves to remind me that it is still patiently awaiting my attention! Thanks!

It’s a pretty good one, although, it’s proving slightly difficult to review. I finished it, yesterday and still haven’t decided the angle I need to write it from. And, I KNOW that any drama it initially stirred up probably happened over a decade ago but I still like to take my time before reviewing “controversial” books. Let me know if you decide to read it!
